It wasn't going to take long to reach Master Versei's castle. After all, from Crescent City's northern gate, it was only an hour away.
The gathering and marching of that many soldiers, the sighting of Master Versei in chains and the rumours that the king was in one of the carriages leaving the city attracted all sorts of spectators.
All these, fuelled by the fact that Master Versei was known as a cruel man, even by his fellow nobles, and the fact that the soldiers were marching slowly and the carriages not going so fast, made it easy for even the gentlemen and their ladies, old people and any other person who couldn't run to join the entourage.
They were all wondering the same thing; what was the new king up to? At first, they assumed he was returning to his kingdom, Stardret.
A possibility they immediately ruled out when he took the Northern Gate instead of the eastern gate.
